High School was the start
So many new things to learn
Cornucopia
| |
Home room--the first base
Prayers and flag saluting there
Special friends were made.
|
Then on to math class
Imaginary numbers,
Followed simple math.
| |
Algebra so clean
Balancing an equation
The same on both sides.
|
'If one went a mile'
'How long to get to Boston?'
Just figure it out..
| |
Conversions were next
British and metric systems
Two point five four--hmm.
|
Abacus with beads
Slide up and down to figure
Nice, but cumbersome.
| |
Quarter of dollar
Dollar is one hundred cents
But what's a Nickel?
|
Then short division
Goodness, I have just forgot
Is it important?
| |
Negative numbers
Is there really such a thing?
Sits below the line.
|
Power in the point
Units, hundredths, thousandths.
Oh, so very small.
| |
Adding--the results
Negative and positive
Depends on values.
|
Then fractions galore
Numerator on the top--
Denominator.
| |
The fraction one half
Can also become two-fourths.
Reduction is key.
|
Decimal-- point three
A fraction: three over ten
Each the same value.
| |
Then percentages
Seen in election results
Won--above fifty!
|
Biology class
Teacher is so full of life
'Bio' is just that.
| |
Hatching a chicken
Incubator temp just right
Same as warmth of hen.
|
Mitosis of cells
Division for cell repair
Needed too for growth.
| |
Meiosis for sex
Haploids formed--new blastula--
Recombination.
